Washington, March 6 : Older adults who play video games report higher levels of emotional well-being, North Carolina State University researchers say.
Researchers asked 140 people aged 63 and older how often they played video games, if at all. The study participants then took a battery of tests to assess their emotional and social well-being. 61 percent of study participants played video games at least occasionally, with 35 percent of participants saying they played at least once per week.
The study found that participants who played video games, including those who only played occasionally, reported higher levels of well-being. Those who did not play video games reported more negative emotions and a tendency toward higher levels of depression.
"The research published here suggests that there a link between gaming and better well-being and emotional functioning," says Dr. Jason Allaire, lead author of a paper describing the study and an associate professor of psychology at NC State.
The study was published online this week in Computers in Human Behavior. (ANI)

Review summary
Pinnacle InstantCopy is a point-and-click DVD-copying application that makes it easy to back up DVDs and CDs without worrying about what's going on under the hood. Its deceptively simple interface masks a flexible feature set and a broad range of disc-copying options, from backing up DVDs to duplicating audio discs or console games. InstantCopy isn't nearly as fast as InterVideo's competing DVD Copy program; it can't back up copy-protected DVDs (a feature that may not be legal), and unless you can make an uncompressed 1:1 copy, its output always loses a little picture quality. But in most other ways, it's a powerful, novice-friendly tool for backing up your delicate and expensive collection of DVDs and CDs.
Making personal backups of DVDs is a highly controversial topic that is still being tested in the courts. No copy-protection mechanisms were circumvented during our testing, and CNET does not encourage or condone the illegal copying of commercial DVDs.
InstantCopy's interface is a skillful blend of ease of use and functionality. Its main screen simply lists your computer's playback and recording devices. In most cases, making a copy is as simple as choosing source and target drives, then clicking a Start button.
InstantCopy's deceptively simple main screen lets you set up and launch most copying jobs with only three clicks.
It doesn't take long to discover the power beneath the hood. InstantCopy lets you designate up to 16 simultaneous recording devices for each job, and your copy source and destinations can be almost any combination of CDs, DVDs, and disc images stored on a hard drive or a removable storage device. In most cases, InstantCopy will use your choice of source device and recording media to figure out the type of task you're trying to perform. But you can override its default selections by clicking a Details button that displays a wealth of additional options. Pinnacle manages to organize the potentially overwhelming number of jargon-laden selections into logical, tabbed dialog boxes that let you perform functions simply by clicking check boxes and choosing items from drop-down lists.
Pinnacle has organized a potentially confusing array of esoteric options into a logical set of tabbed dialog boxes.
Most users will be content with the basic copying tools found in InstantCopy's main screen, but the Details section offers plenty of advanced settings for enthusiasts. You can manage a slew of disc-reading, disc-burning, and error-handling options; conserve disc space by removing unwanted DVD features such as foreign languages, commentary tracks, DVD-ROM content, and subtitles; and even restore deleted navigational functions, such as the ability to fast-forward through FBI warning screens.
Selecting one of InstantCopy's standard job Profiles lets you automatically configure multiple settings with a single click.
The Details section also provides preset Profiles that let you automatically set multiple recording parameters with a single click. The several-dozen standard Profiles configure the program for output formats as diverse as Karaoke-CDs, PhotoCDs, and mixed-mode CD-Extra discs. You can also create and save your own profiles.
The biggest hole in InstantCopy's feature set is its inability to duplicate copy-protected DVDs, which account for the overwhelming majority of discs that most people want to back up. Pinnacle deliberately omits this function, since it's not yet clear whether circumventing a DVD-Video disc's copy-protection scheme is ever legal. (For more information about this issue, check www.protectfairuse.org.) The company does, however, coyly note that InstantCopy can burn discs from any unprotected DVD image file, regardless of how that file was created.
Even a task as sophisticated as removing navigational restrictions from a previously authored DVD can be accomplished by simply checking a box.
We ran into several limitations that were not apparent from the program's product literature. InstantCopy can perform true, uncompressed (1:1) DVD-Video backups only if the entire title fits on a single piece of blank media. (The program always, of course, makes perfect copies of DVD-ROM discs.) In all other cases, DVD Copy compresses DVD-Video to fit it onto the target DVD or CD, which always causes some degradation. The video on our test disc was squeezed to about 60 percent of its original size in order to fit on a 4.7GB DVD, and the difference in picture quality was glaringly obvious on a 57-inch Hitachi SWX20B rear-projection TV and a Panasonic CP-72 progressive-scan DVD player. The degradation would be far less noticeable on a more forgiving setup or on most computer monitors.
We also found that InstantCopy can't currently handle DVDs that contain only PCM audio tracks, which is true of many homemade discs. Pinnacle plans to correct this bug with an update this fall, but in the meantime, it shouldn't affect the program's ability to copy commercial DVDs, almost all of which have Dolby Digital-encoded soundtracks.
InstantCopy's performance is satisfactory, but it's still slow compared to that of its closest competitor, InterVideo's DVD Copy. Where InstantCopy took slightly more than two hours to copy an unprotected 8GB dual-layer DVD-Video disc to a single blank DVD, DVD Copy did the same job in 1 hour, 20 minutes. Our 2.5GHz P4 testbed was configured with 512MB of PC800 RDRAM and a 7,200rpm Western Digital Caviar hard drive, and we copied content from a Pioneer DVR-A05 to 4X Verbatim DVD+R media in a Sony DRX-500UL DVD-rewriter.
You can force InstantCopy's advanced options to assume any legitimate value, but simply setting most of them to Automatic will usually allow the program to figure out on its own how to provide the best performance.
In addition to the usual driver downloads and patches, the Pinnacle Web site contains an adequate, searchable knowledge base of product FAQs. The site also lets you set up a personalized support area, where you can monitor outstanding support queries. Telephone support is available from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. PT, Monday through Friday, for a toll. Sadly, it's free for only 90 days; afterward, it costs $14.95 per incident. E-mail support is prompt--a support question sent late on a Friday evening received a reply early the next morning--but unhelpful. The answer consisted primarily of links to Pinnacle knowledge base entries, but none were relevant to our problem.

Quality Distribution, LLC And QD Capital Corporation Announce Pricing Of $225,000,000 Debt Offering
TAMPA, Fla., Nov. 2, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On October 26, 2010, Quality Distribution, Inc. (Nasdaq:QLTY) ("Quality") announced the intent of its wholly owned subsidiaries, Quality Distribution, LLC ("QD LLC") and QD Capital Corporation ("QD Capital" and, together with QD LLC, the "Issuers") to offer Second–Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2018.
On November 1, 2010, the Issuers priced $225,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 9.875% Second-Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2018 at an issue price of 99.324%.
The Issuers intend to use the net proceeds from the offering to fully redeem all of the Issuers' outstanding 10% Senior Notes due 2013, 9% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2010, and Senior Floating Rate Notes due 2012, each of which may be redeemed at par, plus accrued and unpaid interest, pursuant to a satisfaction and discharge. The Issuers also intend to apply proceeds to redeem at par, plus accrued and unpaid interest, the principal amount of their 11.75% Senior Subordinated PIK Notes due 2013 sufficient to reduce the outstanding principal amount of such 11.75% Senior Subordinated PIK Notes due 2013 to $35.0 million. The balance of the proceeds, after paying fees and expenses of this note offering, would be used to pay down outstanding borrowings under the ABL Facility.

Could sand that sits east of Interstate 75 be trucked to Longboat Key for use on the north end of the island?
Longboat Key officials sure hope so.
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) concluded that 600 cubic yards of coarse, white sand near the Venice shore cannot be placed on the north end of Longboat Key because it contains too much shell.
Public Works Director Juan Florensa received the news last week, but has not given up hope that sand will be found somewhere to replace some of the beach that disappeared this year near the North Shore Road beach access.
Florensa said the town is still exploring three other sand sites, which include two sites near the shores of Manatee County and south Hillsborough County.
And, a new sand site is being explored in East Manatee County.
"A borrow pit that Schroeder-Manatee Ranch uses to extract rock, shell and sand in the Lakewood Ranch area looks very promising," said Florensa, who is hopeful the state will approve a permit to take 600 cubic yards of coarse, white sand for placement near the beach access.
The beach access at North Shore Road was closed in March because the lack of a beach there created dangerous conditions for beachgoers.
FDEP, Florensa said, expedites permits for high-erosion areas when 600 cubic yards of sand or less is used for beach placement.
The town would like to renourish the hot-spot area until a major renourishment is performed in 2012 and a permit is approved for offshore breakwaters that will help stop the sand from eroding so quickly.
The cost of the potential project is unknown until a sand site is approved. But Florensa said the town could save some money by transporting the sand to Longboat Key using dump trucks.
West Coast Inland Navigation District would like to dredge sand this fall in Longboat Pass and east of Jewfish Key that is compatible for use on the island's beach.
Both maintenance projects, which have been stalled because of permitting, funding and bureaucratic hurdles, will clear the waterways for safer boat traffic in that area, while dredging potential beach-quality sand for Anna Maria Island and Longboat Key.
But town officials are doubtful the sand is white and coarse enough for placement on the north end.

Federal Procurement:
International Agreements Result in Waivers of Some U.S. Domestic Source Restrictions

Over the years, Congress has enacted a variety of laws designed to encourage federal agencies to purchase U.S. supplies and services. These laws are commonly referred to as domestic preference laws or domestic source restrictions. Perhaps the best known of these laws is the Buy American Act, a 1933 law that established a statutory preference for U.S. supplies and construction materials. At the same time, Congress has approved a number of international agreements that open certain government procurements to goods and services from countries that are parties to those agreements. In addition, the Department of Defense (DOD) has entered into reciprocal procurement memoranda of understanding (MOUs) with some of its foreign counterparts, under which DOD may procure goods and services from those countries. Congress asked us to determine the effect of international agreements on the applicability of U.S. domestic source restrictions. In response, this report (1) identifies the current international trade agreements to which the U.S. is a party that contain government procurement provisions, as well as the reciprocal defense procurement MOUs, and (2) describes how these trade agreements and MOUs affect the applicability of selected domestic source restrictions.
The United States is currently a party to several trade agreements that require each party's goods and services to be given treatment comparable to domestic goods and services in certain government procurements. These agreements include three multilateral trade agreements, four bilateral free-trade agreements, and three recently signed free-trade agreements that now await congressional approval or entry into force. In addition, DOD has signed reciprocal defense procurement MOUs with its counterparts in 21 countries. These MOUs typically call for the signatories to remove barriers to the procurement of defense supplies. Together, the current trade agreements result in the waiver of the Buy American Act and a DOD domestic source restriction known as the Balance of Payments Program for 45 countries. This waiver is limited to those procurements in excess of established dollar thresholds and to the categories of products and the federal entities covered by each agreement. For example, eligible products from the countries that are parties to the World Trade Organization's Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) compete on a comparable basis with U.S.-made products in certain U.S. procurements without regard to the Buy American Act and the Balance of Payments Program. Similarly, for DOD procurements, the reciprocal defense procurement MOUs result in the waiver of the Buy American Act and the Balance of Payments Program for products originating in the 21 MOU countries. Subject to several limited exceptions, neither the trade agreements nor the MOUs affect the remaining domestic source restrictions we reviewed, including the Cargo Preference Act of 1954 and those that apply solely to DOD.

Gmunden train station
Never use the train station as an indication of whether a place is worth seeing. Most train stations in Austria tend to be in the less pictureque parts of town, i.e. not the particularly pretty areas. Seeing the industrial plant in the background can put you off but its worth wandering into the centre of town and to the lake front.

- Trains
- Backpacking
As always, when arriving at a new Town, we wonder where we can park our Car.
At Gmunden, there was no problem at all. We arrived via the Shamsteiner strasse [120] and found a long row of car parks along the edge of the road and lakeside. The tree-lined pathway led to the town centre.
There were plenty of parks, so we took one, bought the park'n pay ticket, put it in our window and were on our way. Easy!- Road Trip
Gmunden by Ferry
A great way to explore the Traunsee and other towns on the Traunsee from Gmunden is to take the ferry that stops along the various towns on the waterfront. Service is very limited in winter but is quite available in the summer. Some towns are serviced all year round because there's no better public transportation connection from the train stations in Gmunden and Ebensee. Some of these Ferries are also used to host special events and you can have a party on the boat while navigating the Traunsee.

5 Simple Tricks for a Better Relationship
Find out how to become a Real Wedding on TheKnot.com and in our magazines.
If you and your fiance already have kids together or if this is your second marriage and have kids from a previous relationship, then it's a no brainer that you'd want to make them feel like they're a part of your day too. The most important thing to do is to ask your kids how they'd feel most comfortable taking part and finding a way to that's age appropriate. Here, a few ideas to include your kids in your wedding day (try one or combine a few!).
Photo: Bethany Jeffrey Photography
There's no rule that says your bridal party has to be all adults. This idea works especially well if your children are older than 10 (the typical age cutoff for flower children). If they're younger, then they could serve as junior bridesmaids and groomsmen, but the same idea applies that they participate in activities like the bridal shower (and maybe they're even part of the PG part of the bachelor and bachelorette parties and then head home), and they dress like your bridesmaid and groomsmen.
If you're having a unity candle, sand ceremony or nontraditional unity ceremony alternative, this is the perfect chance to involve your kids. By getting married, you really are making one big family, or reaffirming the family that already exists, so it makes total sense. Have them help light the candle, include multiple sand colors or come up with something totally new and creative, like family handprints you can display in your home after the wedding.
The person or people that walk you down the aisle don't have to be your dad or parents. You could switch things up by having your kids walk you instead, and this idea works especially well if your children are older.
If your kids are particularly talented in singing, dancing or poetry, for example, you could ask them to showcase their talents in a special performance for you and your guests, even if it's a poem dedicated to you printed in the program.
When it comes to including your kids, you shouldn't force yourself to find a something totally new and different if you want to keep your wedding traditional. This one is classic, easy, simple and a crowd-pleaser.

If exposed to direct sunlight on a very hot day, say over 95 Fahrenheit, it does get hot. Because we use a white sand infill, the heating is kept to a minimum. It will not get hot enough to cause injury. The playground equipment itself will be hot also. If the temperatures reach much higher than 95 degrees, a generally unhealthy environment is experienced by everyone outdoors. Honestly, who wants to play outside when it is that hot anyway?

WiFi always scanning post ICS
After the update, the battery life on this phone got pretty bad. Not being able to turn off background data is one of the reasons I think, but how ICS uses wifi is probably the biggest reason. I searched the internet for answers on how to turn it off and found that if you go to 'menu' -> 'settings' -> 'wifi' -> 'advanced' -> uncheck 'notify me when a network is available'.. it stops wifi from constantly scanning. BUT that option is greyed out, so I can't deselect it! Has anyone else encountered this problem?
Re: WiFi always scanning post ICS
I am using stock jellybean, and the continual scanning is driving me crazy. Sometimes it disconnects my Internet access (very strong signal given that I'm practical sitting on the router). Sometimes it just runs down my battery. I don't have an advanced section in my Wi Fi settings. Is there any way I can select my network manually, or some other way to save my battery? And my nerves? . Short of turning off the wifi connection every time I realize I'm not going to use it in the next fifteen minutes?

Explanation? Riot doesn't like you having IP. If they thought they could get away with it, there would be no IP period. They want you to buy Riot Points. There ya go.

Heat 0n My Meat
thx for ruining legit player. your restriction don't even affect refer a friend bots. They will still farm easily ip from coop or playing 5vs5 custom... just gg... remove this silly refer a friend instead. I played 9k games, and got 0rp from you. I would get ton of rp if i had multiple account with 1K games each. pfff you don't reward legit and long term player but instead reward the wrong people
Junior Member
Riot, I completely understand your intentions, but it is affecting us players who are 'unable' to play regular games for some time. What I mean is that some us have to leave NA for quite some time (ex. work overseas, semester abroad, etc.) [couple of months - 1 year+] and the available internet connection in the countries we go to might hinder playing with other people. Previously the solution for us would be to play 1 human player + AI vs AI custom game so that we can at least gain some IP/XP, and remain committed and interested in the game. Now if we kept playing custom games with not even the slightest reward, we will eventually lose interest in the game because we can no longer 'progress' or buy that new champ we desire. I agree with limiting the min. time required for IP/XP, but for please don't exclude us solo players. At times we have no choice but to play solo.
If folks are using bots to farm like this then whats to stop them from running 5 accounts at once to do the same thing regardless(or 3 for TT)? When it comes down to it the refer a friend is too easy to exploit since accounts are free
Sakuri Ono
I usually just hop into customs games when I get tired of playing ranked after some bad games, or just when I'm bored and wanna try out some absurd build (let's see how much HP farm I can get on Sion). While I suppose I still may do so now and then, the fact that I could get a little IP from doing these solo matches was nice to have, since it meant that I could still work on saving up IP without having to deal with the stress of PVP.

Has anyone thought of adding Vanilla Chai to a Sweet Stout or a Brown Ale or something?
Why yes, yes I am a metrosexual!On taps 1,2&3: Una Mas Cerveza, Ham in a Can, IPA Primary: XINGU Clone, Rye P.A.2ndary: Low Gluten IPA, Bourbon Oak Aged Vanilla PorterKegged: Sh*tty Orange Hefe, Una Mas Cerveza, Smokin Hot Blonde, Belgian DubbelNext up: Una Mas Cerveza, Pecan Pie
Ooooooooooo...that sounds good in a sweet stout or cream ale. Lemme know if you come up with something.
Been a few discussions on here I think, I was wondering about Chai beer, too, a while back. Search with the words Chai and tea in this forum, you'll get some hits. Let me know if you find someone that's tried it. I think I did see something when I googled, and also heard that one of the breweries up here (maybe in Maine or NH) did a chai beer, but have never gotten any feedback from anyone that has tasted it or brewed it.... Repost if you come up with anything "good"!
Found this:http://hbd.org/cgi-bin/recipator/rec...p=55&item=4219 I was thinking maybe a wheat chai.....
I came across this thread this morning, from an older use-group thread, late 90's, but looks like a decent recipe for a chai beer: ...and David Johnson <dmjalj`at`inwave.com> wrote: > My comment would be that we could request that the recipe should be shared > with all of us especially with that kind of praise having been heaped on > it. Although I may never brew a curry beer, I am interested in how Brian > might have used his spices. In fact, I am interested in learning how to > used spices better and read posts on this subject closely here and on the > Mead Lovers Digest. Wow! Thanks George, for such praise. I'm always happy to share recipes. Actually, I think I may have shared this one with some of you already during the thread on Anchor's 1997 Our Special Ale. I think that there is a strong resemblance albeit not an exact duplicate. As my brother-in-beer, Mike Bardallis, pointed out, it is in Amahl Turczyn's book, A Year of Beer, (It's the last recipe.), but here are some better directions for brewing this recipe. First of all, the recipe is based on an Indian spiced tea called "Chai", which is a combination of black tea, six spices, honey and milk. They usually serve it at yuppie-granola coffee shops, very similar to those found in Boulder, Colorado. (Curiosity caused me to break from my coffee routine one day and try the tea.) What struck me is that all the spices blended into one very pleasant taste and that's what I wanted to emulate. Obviously, I had to omit the milk. I thought the black tea would leave too much tannic acid bite so I added some roasted barley to emulate the tea. I choose not to use honey because I didn't want to lighten the body and I wanted the beer to remain "sweet" from the malt. Adding the spices was the tricky part. I first added them directly to the wort, but the extraction was low due to the viscosity of the wort itself. (It wasn't spicy enough.) I also tried "dry spicing" in the primary, but each spice flavor separated to where you could taste them all individually. (It was interesting, but no what I wanted.) So what I came up with is first making a "tea" of the spices, then adding that to the wort. This worked very well and I would recommend this procedure when you want one complex flavor from your spices. (Sorry about the long introduction. It just nice to be talking about brewing. Thanks.) Anyway, here's the recipe. Chai Beer (aka India Chai Ale) - brian rezac - ------------------------------------------ 8 lbs. Munton & Fison light malt extract 1 lb. English crystal malt (55 L) 8 oz. Belgian Munich malt 4 oz. Belgian CaraPils malt 4 oz. Briess chocolate malt 4 oz. Briess roasted barley 2 oz. Cascade, 4.9% AA (70 min) 3/4 oz. Saaz, 3.0% AA (15 min) 1/2 oz. Saaz, 3.0% AA (2 min) 1 teaspoon Irish moss (15 min) 1 teaspoon Burton salts (optional) Wyeast #1007 - German ale yeast Naturally carbonate, bottle condition. Spices - --------------- 120 Cardamom pods, (cracked slightly - just enough to open the pods) 11 teaspoons Cinnamon chips 11 teaspoons whole Coriander 5 1/2 teaspoons whole Cloves 5 1/2 teaspoons whole black Peppercorns 11 inches fresh, peeled, sliced Ginger root (or 5 teaspoons dried ginger chips) Adding Spices - --------------------- In a separate pot, boil all spices in approximately 1 quart of water for 20 minutes. (You should have the spices boiling about the same time as you start the wort boiling.) After 20 minutes of a nice rolling boil, shut off heat, cover and leave spices sit in water for another 20 minutes. At 20 minutes left to the wort boil, add spice tea through a strainer directly into wort. A few months after I came up with this recipe, my daughter, Caitlin, who was seven at the time, came to me with a whole advertising campaign of four different ads that she had drawn in crayon. The theme or tag-line in all the ads was, "Chai Beer. It's a good beverage." Enjoy! Brian Rezac Administrator American Homebrewers Association 736 Pearl Street, Boulder, CO 80302 brian`at`aob.org http://beertown.org I hope it was ok to cut & paste this. Figured it would be a lot easier and more reliable than a link. -LouT
Personally, I can't stand the taste of chai. Going to toss my cookies now... Enjoy your beer...

Leonardo DiCaprio Sips Away His Sorrows as He Watches the Lakers Lose
Leonardo DiCaprio was in his usual courtside seat at the Lakers game in LA last night, though his cheering presence wasn't enough to get a win for the team. Leonardo's good friend Lukas Haas was a few seats down the row, while Khloe Kardashian was also out to support her husband, Lamar Odom. Leonardo may be hiding some new ink underneath his leather jacket, since he was spotted, cigar in hand, at a local tattoo parlor last week. He ranks among our favorite dramatic actors and male celebrities of 2010, though his impressive work in Inception has failed to get him any award season recognition yet.

And I think I`m entitled to express my opinion about anyone here even if I don`t like him or her. Apparently I was wrong! :oy:
Good that at least someone agrees with me about the lousy girlfriend. Maybe there`s hope for one here... ;)

ProfitStars Announces MaxConnect Interactive: Hosted Integration Component To Web-Based Loan And Deposit Pricing Solution
MONETT, Mo., Oct. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Jack Henry & Associates Inc. (NASDAQ:JKHY) is a leading provider of technology solutions and payment processing services primarily for the financial services industry. Its ProfitStars® division introduced today MaxConnect Interactive™, which offers the hosted integration between clients' core processing system and Margin Maximizer Interactive™ (MMi), a Web-based loan and deposit pricing engine. The solution is supported by Microsoft ® Silverlight, its application framework, and Windows ® Azure, the cloud computing platform.
ProfitStars' MMi helps financial institutions bring greater control, discipline, and consistency to pricing, enabling them to maximize net interest income and better qualify growth opportunities. It provides all the benefits of cloud computing, including access to configurable pricing capabilities from any location at any time; limitless capacity that can be scaled on demand with an unlimited number of seats at no additional expense; and lower costs due to the elimination of hardware purchases and upgrades, software installation, and on-premise client/server application support.
The availability of MaxConnect Interactive allows financial institutions to more fully benefit from the online management and reporting of MMi, automating the input of all loans and relationships residing within any core system but not previously entered into MMi. The result is increased accuracy of deposit, loan, and relationship data populating the MMi database via regular updates.
According to David Foss, president of ProfitStars, "The evolving regulatory environment, recovering economy, and competition for quality credits challenge most lending departments. What we offer through Margin Maximizer gives lenders the help they need to accurately determine the profitability of each loan and more effectively address dynamic regulatory requirements such as documentation of loan pricing decisions and the impact new capital requirements have on product profitability."
Margin Maximizer clients have outperformed the industry on net interest margin by a 16 basis points average during the last six years, with performance exceeding the industry every quarter during that period.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

For new questions please post at magento.stackexchange.com, the community-run support site for the Magento community. We will be providing updates on the new forum solution soon. For questions or concerns please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
I'm trying to get my head around an annoying issue I'm facing, and despite much research haven't been able to find a solution yet. It is related to the Google Sitemap, canonical URLs and category structure.
The site in question has a very basic single level category structure, with each product only being in one category as follows:
- Category 1 - Product 1 - Product 2 - Product 3
- Category 2 - Product 1 - Product 2 - Product 3
This is what I'm trying to achieve: - The on site product URLs to be included within the product URL - Use category URLs in canonical tags to ensure Google indexes them - Use category URLs in my XML Google Sitemap generated by Magento
I would have though this would be simple, but I just can't seem to get this setup. I wouldn't be so fussed about it, but I believe that it's better for SEO to provide category paths (at least if the product is only in one category anyway), and with social media being so essential now, I'm finding issues where if people 'like' a product on Facebook which they have accessed via the category on the site, when somebody finds the page on Google (which is indexed with no category path), the product appears to have no 'likes' etc.
Has anybody had this same problem and / or found a solution?
I've managed to answer my own question. For anyone else who is struggling, the answer is to extend the Mage_Sitemap_Model_Sitemap model and add your own generateXml() function. You only need to replace the 'generate products sitemap' section as below.
This will check each product to see if it is in a category, and if so, loop through the categories and add them to the sitemap (providing the use category path in product URL option is selected in the config)
/** * Generate products sitemap */ $changefreq = (string)Mage::getStoreConfig('sitemap/product/changefreq', $storeId); $priority = (string)Mage::getStoreConfig('sitemap/product/priority', $storeId); $collection = Mage::getResourceModel('sitemap/catalog_product')->getCollection($storeId); foreach ($collection as $item) { $_product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($item->getId()); $_categoryIds = $_product->getCategoryIds(); if(Mage::getStoreConfig('catalog/seo/product_use_categories') && $_categoryIds = $_product->getCategoryIds()) { foreach($_categoryIds as $_categoryId) { $_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_categoryId); $url = htmlspecialchars($baseUrl . $_product->getUrlPath($_category)); $xml = sprintf('<url><loc>%s</loc><lastmod>%s</lastmod><changefreq>%s</changefreq><priority>%.1f</priority></url>', $url, $date, $changefreq, $priority ); $io->streamWrite($xml); } } else { $xml = sprintf('<url><loc>%s</loc><lastmod>%s</lastmod><changefreq>%s</changefreq><priority>%.1f</priority></url>', htmlspecialchars($baseUrl . $item->getUrl()), $date, $changefreq, $priority ); $io->streamWrite($xml); } } unset($collection);
Thanks for the code! But the weird thing is that it does not read the changes of the file..
Should this be the right location?: app/code/core/Mage/Sitemap/Model/Sitemap.php

text: UN experts call for better data collection and research on violence against childrenGENEVA, 11 March 2011 - At a special event held during the current meeting of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva today, UN experts called for better data and research on violence against children in order to strengthen government action for prevention and response to violence, including legislative reform to prohibit it in all its forms. Organized by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Violence against Children, UNICEF and OHCHR, the interactive panel discussion on the theme of promoting better data and research to inform child sensitive and effective laws, policies and action to combat violence against children highlighted new evidence about children's exposure to physical punishment and psychological aggression. Panelists included senior representatives of ILO, WHO, UNICEF and the international NGO Global Initiative to End All Corporal Punishment of Children, as well as representatives of the joint organizers of the special event. "Widely perceived as a social taboo, violence against children is seldom reported, and children often feel frightened to speak up and seek support. Official statistics do not capture the true scale and extent of this phenomenon," said Marta Santos Pais, Special Representative on Violence against Children. The event highlighted new evidence about children's exposure to violence in low- and middle-income countries. The findings of a new UNICEF report on Child Disciplinary Practices at Home reveal that three of four children surveyed experience some form of violent discipline, about half experience some form of physical punishment and three in four experience psychological aggression. Miguel Caldeira, Office of the UN Secretary-General on Violence Against Children, New York, Tel + 1 917 265-4598, firstname.lastname@example.com |

you slip one stitch,from the left needle onto the right needle, then you knit one stitch..... and then you take the slipped stitch and pass pass it to the left, OVER the knit stitch...(get hold of the slipped stitch with your fingers and move it, to the left, OVER the knit stitch and then off the tip of the needle, which leaves the knit stitch the only stitch of those 2, on the needle ....this is simply one way of doing a decrease stitch. it leans toward the left because of that sl stitch that you passed to the left, over that knit stitch. |
Thanks Sandra! I can't believe I was having such a problem with that, senior moments!!! Donna |

How to Prepare Yourself for a Brazilian Wax
Brazilian waxing is a very delicate and special procedure that needs extra attention and preparation to go well.
For those of you who don't know Brazilian waxing is one of the many types of bikini waxing and also the most popular type of bikini waxing. A Brazilian will remove all your pubic hair, and by all I mean ALL, back and front. If you are a woman, a Brazilian wax will take off the pubic hair around your vagina, including the labia, perineum and anus. If you are a man a Brazilian wax will take off the pubic hair around your penis, perineum, anus and buttocks.
Now that you have a clear picture on what a Brazilian wax will do to you, let's get back to the purpose of this article. How can you properly prepare for a Brazilian and how you can make sure you and your boyfriend will be able to enjoy it?
- The first and most important step in my opinion is to do your homework. Know what a Brazilian wax is and what it implies before you get one. Talk to your friends who got one before, asks your beauty therapist anything you need to know, read articles like this one or watch a video on Brazilian waxing.
- Make your appointment so that you will get the Brazilian in the first week after your period. In the next 5 to 7 days after your period the skin is not that sensitive and the discomfort you will feel will be diminished. This is not extremely important, unless you have a hard time dealing with waxing in general.
- Your hair down there should have a specific length for the waxing to go well. By the book it should be a quarter of an inch. To make is easier for you to appreciate, it should be about the length of you eyebrows. You can achieve this length by shaving and letting it grow for three weeks or so.
- Don't drink coffee or anything containing caffeine right before your appointment. Caffeine increases the skin sensitiveness which you definitely don't want before a Brazilian wax. You can also take a pill or two of Ibuprofen 30 minutes or one hour before the waxing, to help you with the pain.
- Last but not least, wear something comfortable. After the Brazilian your skin will be pretty sensitive so tight clothes will only make it worst because of all the friction going on. Get a loose cotton panty.
That is about it. These are the most important tips I can thing of. Follow them and you will have a better waxing experience. For first timers there is always a higher discomfort involved but don't panic, over time your hair will grow back finer and thinner, your skin will get used to the wax and the pain will go away.

Claire is the owner and editor of the Brazilian Wax Headquarters, a website offering valuable tips and advices on Brazilian waxing. She is a full time Product Manager and a part time beauty junkie blogger.

As your personal Insurance agent I'll save you time and money by shopping the market place to find the best value for your insurance dollars. Our V.I.P. Client services department will treat you you deserve to be treated.
Homeowners Insurance 101 Specifically For Naples Florida Residents
Are you new to the homeowner's insurance market place? Perhaps your Local insurance agent never thoroughly explained what's covered or even more important, what's not covered under your homeowner's insurance policy? MainStreet Insurance & Financial Services only objective to provide you with protection and peace of mind. The same concept will apply to a condominium insurance as well as rental property insurance.
Lets take a look at your homeowners insurance declaration page. The thing in your outline of coverage is Dwelling coverage. This is the part of your homeowner's insurance coverage that pays to repair or replacement your home in case of a covered lost. The dwelling coverage must always be 100% of the cost to repair or replace the property from scratch not what the loan amount.
The second coverage is Other Structure. This is coverage for a secondary building on your property not connected to the main building such as a shed;detach garage or a guest house.
Next up is Personal Property also known and Contents. This is the coverage you need for your personal items such as furniture, appliances, clothing and electronics. This coverage can issue on an actual cash value basis or on a replacement cost basis. Actual cash value (ACV) means they will depreciate the value of the items you lost. Replacement Coast (RC) means the insurance companies will replacement the lost items with new items. The best way to insure your personal property is on replacement cost basis even though a little more expensive.
Additional Coverage Available as Endorsements
· Money or related property, coins and precious metal
· Watercraft,trailers and equipment
· Jewelry,watches, furs and semi-precious stones
· Silverware, gold ware or pewter ware
Now we are up to Loss Of Use. This coverage will pay for additional living expenses should your home become inhabitable due to fire damage, hurricane damage or if you are forced to evacuate.
We're almost done here. Next up is Personal Liability. This coverage will pay for bodily injury to others due to your negligence in case of a lawsuit.
Medical payment coverage will pay for medical expenses to others accidentally injured at the home or property of th e insured.
Now let's talk about deductibles. When you get a homeowners insurance quote in the state of Florida there will be two set of deductibles. We have what we call an AOP deductible also called All Other Peril deductible. That's your actual deductible for everything except for a hurricane lost. For Hurricane damages we have what's called,ready for it? A Hurricane deductible.
In the state of Florida, your homeowners insurance policy has a standard 2% deductible however, it could be less or as high as 10%. Please understand the 2% or 10% has to do with your dwelling coverage. If your dwelling coverage is $100,000 then your deductible is $2k and if your hurricane deductible is 5% then you're looking at a $5,000 deductible. Please make sure you know what your hurricane deductible and see if it makes sense to go with a higher deductible.

First it was Bloomberg illegally sending people to "sting" PA gun shops, now it looks as if New Jersey is trying to blame Pennsylvania for its high crime rate because of our laxed gun laws
It's a little old, but I just found it. Whats next? Maryland saying their high crime rates are because of PA gun owners? It really sucks being surrounded by anti-gun states
Gun Guys » Keeping Pennsylvania Guns Out of Criminals Hands in Camden
The part that tickles me the most is this:
Does he not hear what he just said?Corzine should consider how the state of New Jersey can hold Pennsylvania and its lawmakers accountable for continually ignoring calls -- even from its own big-city officials -- to tighten the sale of guns. Pennsylvania's gun laws are so loose, illegal dealers (Also know as criminals) have an easy time acquiring weapons. Those guns are flooding into Camden and ending up in the hands of people who cannot legally purchase them.
